Cost Ton Months Imprisonment.

At the sale of the crown jewels the other
day the valuable gems worn by the Princess
x, one Of the leaders in the Russian colony
here, was the subject of general remark. To
some friend who complimented her on the
magnificence of her "parure" the "grande
dame" replied:
at cost me ten months Imprisonment
And this was the explanation, The prin-
cess limits her expenditure for jewelry to
800, 900 francs per annum- One day jeweler
presented himself at her residence and offered
to sell her this superb necklace.
@How much:"
1.-TWO hundred and fiftyrhoussnd francs"
"a great deal, and more than ! now have.
The willy tradesman was about leaving
when the lady recalled him
"Could You keep it for me for ten monthsF'
The owner of the necklace asked nothing
better, and the bargain was concluded.
The princess Immediately retired TO q con-
vent, and for ten months was dead 70 the
world" In consequence she spent nothing
for dress, ard employed her savings in the
purchase OF the coveted jewels. Cor.

FOUND IN HOTEL BEDROOMS.
ThoughtIess Travellers Forget All Sorts
of Property-Funny Incidents.

.Heah am a SO of false teef from hun

of the city hotels as he deposited small par
eel on the clerks desk.
zone hundred fourteen" said the clerk;
'that's the old gentleman who was called at
o'clock to make train. He'll be sending
for them in day or two" And the clerk
dropped the masticators on his desk.
"Do you gather in many such treasures"
asked the reporter.
sOh. yes. People are always forgetting
something-night shirts, watches, revolvers,
suits of clothes, toilet brushes-almost every
thing. The articles are at once brought to
the Office and card is put on showing the
number and occupant Of the room. II the
loser is regular visitor he gets the article
when he comes round again. If not the ar
ticle is kept in the Office about month, and
then, if not claimed, is put away in store
room and kept. Almost always, if the article
is of any value, we get telegram from the
owner, directing us what to do with it; but it
frequently happens that they forget where it
is left, and never know unless they come back
and are told about it.
81 received telegram from man one
day, saying: Left $40 in my room. Save
til come I couldn't find any $40, but he
had left suit of clothes in the room. These
I kept until he showed up, about month
afterward He had found the $40 supposed
to have been lost, but had entirely forgotten
where the suit of clothes had been left"
CorkscrewS and pocket TASKS are frequently
left behind and rarely called for; and con-
scientious clerk in one of the most prominent
hostelries still preserves little silver clasped
Bible and an empty half pint flask with a
silver top, which were left on the dresser in
one of the rooms of the house occupied by a
clerical looking man with a Prince Albert
coat and white tie.
Clerk AL Kane, Of the Central hotel, tells
of an amusing experience he had some time
ago. A long haired German came out of the
reading room shortly before 5 o'clock and
said that he was going to leave at O'Clock,
and they were to have him called if be didn't
come down About 80 the man rushed up
to the desk and said: ooh! has anybody leaf
pig red bocketbook NIT you?"
mo, think not" said the clerk
'Mein Gott.' was all the gentleman said,
as he ran both hands up through his long
hair Then he darted into the reading room.
In few seconds he came back laughing and
clasping the big red pocketbook in his hands.
at was rigid der blaze in where l left i'd
pefore, und Wasn't got another cent" he
said, as he opened it and counted out s4S5.
The pocketbook had lain an hour on the big
writing table, in plain view from the street
or corridors, and it was really very lucky
thing for the gentleman that he had found it.
Pocketbooks, watches and revolvers are
among the most frequent finds, owing to the
custom so many people have of putting these
articles under their pillows. Hotel men say
that drummers rarely leave anything behind.
1t is only those not used to travel as rule,
that forget their MISUNDERSTANDING Dis
patch.

Commodo Vanderbilt's Superintendent.
One of the best railroad executives in this
country of great men in that department of
human industry is c. N. Bissell, superintend-
ent of the Harlem railroad. He rose from the
rear rank, as it were, having begun in the
most mental station.
It was thought when he became full
fedged passenger conductor that the highest
peak of ambition had been scaled, but there
was no keeping him in subordinate place
One night Commodore Vanderbilt, who owned
the road, came down from Saratoga and Con
ductor Bissell had him in charge from Albany
to New York. The distance is $50 miles.
Bissell kept sharp eye on his duty, and the
despotic commodore sat silent Not q word
did he address to that .rainmaster during
their journey. Just as the special train hauled
into New York the old man asked:
aHow long have you been on this roadl,
"About twelve years." was the reply.
@Come to my office tomorrow morning at
o'clock
Bissell didn't know what he had done to
offend his employer, but being plucky man
he whistled away his apprehensionS and at
the appointed hour appeared in the dread
presence
1Ha, humph.' grunted the commodore,
you're here, heyl Come out to the yard"
Bissell followed the ogre, quite unable to
guess what was in the wind.
sHow much does that rail weigh!' alb
ruptly inquired the commodore.
Bisseu (who was ono Of the best informed
employees in the service) made satisfactory
answer to that and other questions relating to
the minutie OF railroad construction.
Still without the slightest relaxation of his
stern features the old man blurted out:
GHow would you like to be superintendent
Of the Harlem railroadF
GFirst rate, said Bissell

Oh greenly and fair in the lands Of the sun.

Like that which DER Nineyehs prophet once

While he waited TO know that his warning was
true,
And longed for the storm clond and listened in
vain,
For the rush OF the whirlwind and red nre-

On the banks of tue Xenil the dark Spanish
maiden
Comes up with the fruit OF the tangled vine
laden;
And the creole OF Cuba laughs out to behold
Through orange leaves shining the broad
spears OF gold:
Yet with desrer delight from his home in the

Gu the fields OF his harvest the YANKEE looks
forth,
Where crook-necks are coilng aud yellow
fruit shines.
And the sun of September melts down on his
vines.
All! on Thanksgiving day. when from East
and from West.
From North and from South come the pilgrim
and guest.
When the gray-haired New Englander sees

The old broken links OF affec ton restored
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother

And the worn matron smiles Wnere the RlFI

In the central part Of Mexico there

on the newly formed seeds of a species
of Euphorbia. The egg matches in
few days, and the young larva, nearly
invisible TO the eye, eats its way into
the interior where il feeds aud grows

When by any mishap the plants,
whether in parlor or greenhouse, be-
come frozen, either at once remove
them (taking care not to touch the
leayes) to some place warm enough to
be just above the point OF freezing :
or. if there are too many to do that, get
up the fire as rapidly as possible. and
raise the temperature. The usual adj
vice is to sprinkle the leaves and shade
the plants from the sun. We have
never found either remedy OF any avail
with frozen plants. and the sprinkling
is often "A serious injury if done before
the temperature is above the freezing
point. In our experience with thous-
ands of frozen plants. we have tried All
manner OF expedients. and found no bet
Ter method than to get them out Of the
freezing atmosphere as quickly aspossl-
BILE and we have also found that the
damage is in proportion to the sncculeht
condition Of the plant and the intensity
of the freezing Just what degree Of
cold plants in any given condition can
endure without injury, we are unable TO
state. Plants are often frozen so that
the leaves hang down, but when thawed
out are found 10 be not at all injured.

ture acting on the same kind Of plants

be growing more thrifty, aud are

pc, AZURE at which plants have been grow
ing. When the frost is penetrating into a
greenhouse or room in which plants are
kept, and the heating arrangements
are inadequate to keep it out, the best
thing to do is to cover the plants with
paper (newspapers) or sheetine. Thus
protected, most plants will be enabled to
resist four or five degrees OF frost. Pa
per is rather better than sheeting
for this purpose. PETER HENDERSON,
